We had Camden baptized on Sunday. We decided to have it done the same weekend all of our family was already in town so they could be a part of the ceremony. Camden did not sleep enough the day of his birthday party or that night and he was teething, so he didn't feel that great. He was very cuddly and clinging to me. He already fusses when someone else holds him and Mike and I are right there but I knew he would cause a scene since he didn't feel well. As soon as the pastor took him he started to cry. He came back to me pretty quickly but still wouldn't calm down. We were up in front of the whole church and all I could think was "please stop crying." He was just very upset by the fact that this strange man held him for 2 minutes and poured water over his head! Even though he cried the whole time it was still very special. Camden passed out and slept for the rest of the service. He is so sweet. Afterward we had the family over to our house for coffee before they all left to drive home. My friend Tammy and her husband and daughter even came in town for the occasion!
Camden started crying and reaching for me as soon as I handed him to the pastor.
This didn't help the crying...
Still crying. Even after Mommy is holding him.
Finally relaxed. I was hoping to get through the ceremony without the paci, but it just didn't happen. He doesn't use it much throughout the day, mainly for sleeping.
Mike loves being a dad and is always so happy when he's with Camden.
Kimberlee (Tammy's daughter) and Camden. They were both tired and didn't want to look at the camera. We were lucky to see them again - twice in 2 weeks! We went to Pete's 30th birthday party two weeks ago. Normally we see each other once
every 6 months or so. I wish we could see them more.
